I think tonight I'll be going to the Birds of a Feather session, Weblogging:
The Future of Conversational Software . Not sure what it holds in store, but it
looks interesting. If you are blogging the PDC, it's worth attending, I'm sure.
Other random...

We're all here, packed into the UX Lounge - somewhere off the main concourse to the
big keynote hall. We've got a big sign that says "Client" - just assume that means
"Aero" and come on down! I should be around the rest of the day, wearing a Longhorn...

We just made it through BillG's keynote and things seem to have come off smoothly.
The team is pretty exhausted - including myself. I'm actually back at the hotel, reading
some blogs about what we just showed - we'll see what people have to say by the...

Of course, there's always a catch. Apparently, the pretty horrendous fires happening
near Los Angeles have caused visibility to basically be zero for the local airports
- making it dangerous for planes to land safely.
I'm sure the attendees on...

Since I was able to post, it should be clear I made it to LA. Already got some dinner
planned, then meeting some developers later for drinks (let me know if you're interested!).
Supposedly we're even gonna go start setting up tonight - at the very...

I’m writing this entry some 30,000 feet above sea level, having just crossed the border
into
California
. In a little while (well, somewhere around an hour and a half) we’ll descend into
the
Los Angeles
area, where the pilot tells me...

Well, it’s just about time to head to
Los Angeles
. I’m flying out tomorrow, spending Sunday setting up, and getting excited to meet
each and every one of you. Once that happens, the information flow will go from slow,
slow trickle to incredibly...

Jeremy recently blogged about a
discussion we've had that relates to Longhorn, the new storage system, and what my
team has been up to. Of course, since he's so willing to rip me off, feel free
to go read
his post , then come back and...

This will sound incredibly newbie-ish for bloggers out there, but for the first time
I really realized what it meant to have people commenting on my blog - and it compelled
me to reply (and even kicked off some thinking for future posts).
In the...

PDC preparation continues to move
into high gear, and the excitement is building. The hype machine, of course, cannot
help but go into overdrive – people are simply so jazzed about this show
(internally and externally) that it’s good we’re going to...

I'm such a slacker. I haven't posted in days!
I actually was writing up a post about video games and user experience, but I failed
to post it because of the overall level of pretentiousness. If I can clean that up
to make an actual point I may...

Alright, looks like I'm finally set for a hotel. I have one booked,
and I'm working on actually setting something else up that would be cheaper for Microsoft
and closer to the convention center - but at the very least, I have a place to sleep!
It's...

In Windows XP, we have 3 tasks that launch wizards where the first step is to confirm
the files you want to mess with. These are Order Prints Online , Print
this Picture , and Publish to the Web .
(Technically, the Image Acquisition Wizard does this...

Paolo Marcucci has made great progress
on his PocketPC PDC app .
I'm quite excited about it, despite not having a PocketPC... I'm hoping if I link
him enough, I'll get one. I mean, wouldn't you want that kind of endorsement? I'll
be sending Paolo...
